The Morgan/Cadell Tigers started the game with a full 22 players hitting the Morgan ground ready for business. They were out to prove to the fans that they were not just winning by fluke. The Ramco Roosters were six down from the previous side but the stars were there. The Roosters took the bull by the horns with Hippo McDonald kicking the fi rst three goals straight and had the aging veteran fullback Mick Dreckow tearing his already fading hairline out. The Tigers regrouped and took the next centre break away with Gordon Mackintosh winning the hit out to Hissey, running it to Kent relishing forward duties, on to Woods at full forward to score truly and get them underway.
The Roosters were not having it all their own way with the Tigers kicking four straight as Gardner, and Quinn ran rings around the Roosters midfi eld. Woods in a marking contest came down awkwardly and hobbled off with an ankle injury and took no further part in the game. The Roosters’ back lines in the Thiel brothers, and youngster Bronte Willis- Matthews were under fi re and fought hard for every kick. The Tigers at the fi rst change were up by fi ve points. Backwards and forward the pendulum swung as the lead changed constantly. Nigel Hole was back to his best in the ruck with Jason Marr helped get the ball forward into Bevan and McDonald. Max Baddack for the Tigers was having another good day out at CHB taking grabs at will and getting it forward through Jeremy Jaeger and Steve Burford to Nadebaum who was put at full forward after Woods’ injury and Meyers in the pocket. Neither side would retreat as the Roosters took the lead at the long break by three points. It was do or die in this quarter but neither side would give the other an inch. The Tigers through Quinn, Gardner and Hissey drove deep to Nadebaum and newcomer Henry Brzezinski scored when needed. Youngster Daniel Donnelly got into the game more, receiving the ball through Marr, brothers Jacob and Nigel, McDonald and McLoughlin scored the other end.
Pittaway through good leading tried to extend the lead for the Roosters but put the boots on the wrong feet and only scored minor scores as the Tigers fought back. Again the scoring went goal for goal as the end drew closer. Thiel and Willis-Matthews in the back line had good duels with Kent and Brzezinski. Nigel Hole had worn one ruckman out and Hissey was moved to the ruck. He competed well but Hole’s experience proved too good. Marr took it upon himself to kick a few goals to give the Roosters a small buffer but into the forward lines it went for the Tigers from Burford to Johnson only to have the dreaded siren go before he took the mark 30 out directly in front. The Roosters took the game by the skin of their teeth. Roosters’ coach Andrew Bevan said, “It was a hard fought game going goal for goal all day. We were a few out but the Tigers had a few new faces that made the match ups a little harder. Pittaway could not take a trick all day and we made a good start but the Tigers came back well. It was pleasing to see a few young lads step up and show themselves. A great game and we were lucky to take the points.â€
Tigers’ coach AJ was cursing the siren for going when it did but said they had opportunities during the match to have had it won. “It took us a while to settle and Ramco made a good start but we did not allow them to escape too far. It was a hard fought affair and we made some unexpected changes that saw us nearly get there in the end. There was a lot of respect given by both sides with no silly stuff just good, hard footy. It’s obvious we need some improving of fi tness and skills but the lads are enjoying being competitive as a team and look forward to the second half of the season.â€
